Why Draymond Green ‘rips the guy up’ is a good thing

Golden Empire Warriors front Draymond Green is known for having a passionate personality and likes to show off. Sometimes it rub NBA teammates or opponents in the wrong way but it can also work in favor of the Warriors. Head coach Steve Kerr explains why it’s a good thing that Green ‘rips the guy apart’.

Steve Kerr: “You have internal leaders like Bjelica and Otto always by your side. You have Draymond tearing the boys apart. You have Steph putting his arm around them. Andre is making a cryptic remark. Looks like the hierarchy is in a good place.” https://t.co/VogzGsnrgs

So basically, the Warriors have good cop habits and bad cops to deal with defensive blunders. Anyone can make a myth about Who is the bad cop?? It’s funny to imagine Draymond Green shouting, Andre Iguodala make a subtle comment and Stephen the curry put his arm around the scolded player while Steve Kerr laughed hysterically. It’s like a big, happy family.

In all seriousness, Green is the perfect fit for that role – defensive captain. He knows a thing or two about that side of the ball, averaging more than one steal and tackle per game in his career while taking home the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year award in 2017.

Green is also one of the most versatile defenders in the league, thanks to his ability to defend all five positions and move on to smaller ball handlers such as picks and rolls efficiently.

It’s that unique ability that could make him the favorite for that award again in the 2021-22 campaign, especially considering the fact that the 15-2 Warriors rank first in the NBA. on defensive ratings.

As long as Draymond Green is around to rip through enemies, the Warriors defense should be fine.
